co2 from Academy or paintball stores?

[rocketeer]

What do you all think about using co2 from sporting goods or paintball stores for a calcium reactor?

The 9oz, 12oz, 20oz, are to small i would think an d i think they are biult to let it out really fast

[Louie3]

what i've herd are 5lb and 10lb canisters beimg used

[rocketeer]

Yeah, I'm looking to fill a 5 lb. bottle. I was just wondering if the CO2 was clean enough. And if they would have the right fittings.

At my local Academy, they dont carry any type of fittings, IDK about yours, and when i've tried to fill up my canister (10lb) for refilling my co2 tanks for paint ball they dont let me. they say the biggest they are allowed to fill up is 24oz. since they use thier coz station for paintball use, i dont think they are filtered is someway, try finding a personally owend store
